St Methodius of Olympus, ANF 6
d3
(Vexillas,—as they are called, p. 399.)
IT is very curious to note how certain ideas are inherited from the earliest Fathers, and travel down, as here, to find a new expression in a distant age. Here our author reflects Justin Martyr,1 and the Labarum2 itself is the outcrop of what Justin wrote to Antoninus Pius.
